How your physics expertise shapes more reliable AI
Frontier AI still struggles with problems that require deep scientific reasoning. Your expertise helps AI teams identify where models fail, create better training data, and measure whether new models are actually improving. Work alongside other experts on projects where rigor, accuracy, and sound judgment matter.
Create
Develop original problems, solutions, and explanations that test advanced physical reasoning.
Review
Check work from other experts for correctness, rigor, and clarity — and strengthen it where needed.
Evaluate & improve
Analyze model responses, diagnose reasoning errors, and provide feedback that helps teams improve performance.
Getting started
Apply
Tell us your background and expertise.
Get verified
We confirm your identity and credentials via a background check. This is what makes companies trust every expert in our community.

What kinds of physics expertise are we looking for?
Theoretical & Mathematical Physics
Applied & Engineering Physics
Draw on experience with real-world systems, measurement, and experimental design. You may ground a problem in how physics actually behaves in a lab or in the field, not just on a chalkboard.
Quantum Physics & Quantum Information
Astrophysics & Cosmology
Use a background in stellar dynamics, general relativity, or large-scale structure. You may design specialized problems that demand deep domain-specific intuition, or review a peer's reasoning for subtle errors.
What the work actually
looks like
Write a graduate-level, multi-step physics problem from scratch.
Provide a precise, fully worked solution.
Design it so an AI model has to genuinely reason through the physics, not recall a memorized derivation.
Astrophysics & cosmology
Other tasks ask you to review a peer's problem or a model's solution path, catching subtle scientific errors and judging whether a more rigorous approach exists.
Graduate-level by design
Every task is calibrated so that a graduate-level expert can solve it confidently, but so that it genuinely challenges — and often stumps — today's most advanced AI reasoning models.
Expert judgment over shortcuts
That means multi-step derivations over rote recall, scientific precision over shortcuts, and real domain judgment over textbook plug-and-chug. If you're the kind of physicist who gets bored by easy problems, this is closer to the ceiling of what a task can ask of you.
Why Snorkel AI
Do work that actually matters
Your scientific reasoning directly shapes how frontier AI models handle rigorous physics problems — not busywork that gets thrown away.
No AI experience required
What matters is deep expertise in physics. We'll never ask you to learn a new field to qualify.
Get paid for your expertise, not your hours
Total flexibility
This is remote and flexible work — hours depend on the assignment, not a fixed weekly minimum.
Built for real expertise
We look for Master's or PhD-level expertise in physics or a related discipline. Open to eligible U.S.-based contractors; residents of California are not currently eligible.
A vetted community, and your choice, always
We verify every expert's identity and credentials for real, and participation in any project is entirely voluntary.
